A few days ago Adobe released their Beta Version of the new Flexbuilder 4. But they renamed FlexBuilder to Flashbuilder to better fit to Flash and the brand new Flash Catalyst Software. You can find more information on the Adobe Website:
Searching the Web and Amazon I didn’d really find a useful website helping me to learn RSpec in an easy way. The RSpec website is a good starting point. There are already a bunch of examples, but for me it was sometimes hard to follow, especially the mock section.
I recently stumbled upon Peepcode Screencasts again and found 4 Screencasts about using RSpec with Rails. I never thought about searching the page, because every Screencast has to be bought.
Well I now I think differently. I bought all 4 Screencasts and don’t regret it. A 210 Minutes, well structured, Video Tutorial divided into 3 parts. Starting with the Basics you develop a Rails Application using RSpec as the Test Environment. The last Screencast is about using “User Stories” in RSpec, a nice Add-On.
For every RSpec Screencast there is a Preview available.
Some time ago, I stumbled over a nice gem called Prawn. Prawn is written in Ruby and makes it easy to generate PDF documents. On top of it you can easily integrate prawn in Ruby on Rails. Instead of rendering a html page you just render a PDF document for the user.
The Prawn Documentation comes along with many helpful examples. enjoy!

Is just got Mongrel working with Rails 2.0.2 and RubyGems 1.0.1 on Windows.
What I did was to delete all prior Versions of Mongrel except Version 1.1.3
You can use the command gem uninstall mongrel ( Select the Versions prior to 1.1.3 and delete them, then 1.1.3 will be used by default)
Well I still haven’t got everything right, but I’m getting very close to it. So far I managed to run Capsitrano2 over my application, export the whole code to a SuSE 10.2 vmware Image, launch a Mongrel Cluster and test it. Next steps will be to configure Apache2 an then I will try to extend the Capistrano2 Script to deploy to more than one machine.
Here are some Links I found:
I’ll add more Links here, as soon as possible.
